THE MULTICYCLE.
New Wheeled Machine for the Trans
portation of Infantry.

portation of Infantry.
People in many London thoroughfares
must have been considerably astonished
of late by the appearance of strange
looking vehicle speeding swiftly along,
propelled by ten riders, who sat all in
row, like the crew of an elongated uni
versity rowing-boat. This novelty in
means of locomotion was on its way to
Aldershot, where, by authority of the
War Office, it will be tested with a
view to its adoption for military opera
tons. 1t is the latest adaptation of
four-in-hand quadricycle and it is in-
tended for the rapid transport of in
fantry from one point to another.
When fully manned it carries twelve
men, who can take with them, if
ordered, light baggage cart or am
munition wagon. The advantages of
mounting men thus in single file instead
of two or four abreast are, first of all,
that the machine is more manageable,
and second, that power for it presents
less surface to a strong head wind, one
of the obstacles most difficult for cyclists
to overcome. The speed that can be
got out of such machine by ten or
twelve moderate riders is quite surpris-
ing. Ten miles an hour would be con-
sidered a low average rate, and sixteen
have been easily accomplished. 1t is
said to be affected less than any other
velocipede by any roughness in the
thoroughfares, and it passes over newly
metalled bits of road with comparative
ease. All the tires are wired on the
Otto principle, SO that they can not be
greatly damaged by cuts from sharp
stones.
For men mounted thus there is, of
course, a considerable saving in labor,
and probably other advantages might
be claimed from military point of
view. These are, however points that
will be fully tested at Aldershot Re-
Gently a machine manned by ten riders,
who did not take their baggage van
with them, set out for Messrs. Singers
warehouse on Holbern viaduct at one
o CLOCK, WnCn Inc currents OF IralllC
were running strong in opposite direc-
tons. The whole control and steering
of the machine is in the hands of one
man, and he had no apparent difficulty
in managing it, even where the thor
oughfare was most densely crowded.
It turned easily enough in less space
than a hanson would have needed and
threaded its way among numberless
vehicles without mishap, though the
drivers of cabs and omnibuses neglected
their own business to gaze at the strange
apparition as itsped past them.
The crew in charge of the multicycle
are all trained volunteers, who will be
able to execute any military evolution
that may be demanded of them with in
telligence, and altogether the expert
ment is one in which military men take
lively interest. The latest novelty in
velocipedes has not as yet been sub
mitted to the agents of any Continental
power, and will be subjected to its first
practical trial for military purposes al

Incidents Which Go to Prove the Dogs
Possession of Reasoning Powers.
A collie, owned by Vermont farmer,
was accustomed to drive a herd of cows
every day from the COW stables to a
pasture which was some distance from
the farm building On the road there
was piece of woods, beyond that Il
field, and further on the pasture. The
farmer was in the habit of going along
with the COWS, but the dog always did
all the driving and was very assiduous
in it, so that one morning, when the
dog suddenly deserted the road and
darted into the woods and out of sight,
his master was greatly surprised. The
farmer kept along the road with tho
cattle, however, and had passed the
woods and proceeded about half way
along the field, when he saw, in the
fence skirting the field, Il gap" which
had been left open without his knowl-
edge; and there, in this open gap, the
dog was seated, and was guarding tho
field from the entrance of the cattle.
He had known OF the break in the fence,
had foreseen the cows, with the prying
curiosity and fondness for getting into
fields characteristic of their race, would
get through it, and had gone around
through the woods to head them off
There is dog who lives much nearer
Boston-in one of our nearest suburbs,
in fact-who proves a great solace to II
widow to whom he does not belong.
Dogs are usually given to combining tho
benefits of their care to their own
household, but this one, recognizing tho
unprotected state of the widow, who
lives alone, is willing to extend his
watchful services to her house. She is
little afraid of the visits of the tramps
who frequently pass her house on the
way to Boston. The farmer who owns
the dog, therefore, when he sees y sus-
picious character coming up the road,
says to his dog:
Jack, go over to Mrs. Hs and sit on
her piazza till the tramp gets by"
Whereupon the dog, who is large
st. Bernard, flies over to Mrs. HIS,
posts himself at the door. and if the
tramp comes up the walk, steps forward
and growls pleasantly at him. As the
dog is very big one, and rather for
bidding in appearance, though he has
never been known to bite any one, the
tramp, in ninety-ninc cases out of Il
hundred, remembers that it is getting
late, and that he hasn't any time to fool
away along the road When he is well
out of sight the dog promptly returns
home.
The dog carries his gallantry to the
same lady to such an extent that when
she is visiting his masters house Of an
evening he always accompanies her
home, taking her to the very door Of the
house. boston Transcript.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moralst
and the preacher have hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more re-
manned to be said. But the philosophers
have gone far out of their way to account
for the prevalence of ill-assorted couples
and unhappy homes, and have overlooked
the chief cause. Most of the unhappiness
of married life can be traced directly to
those functional arrangements to which
women are subject. In nine cases out Of
ten the irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy
wife is sufferer from some "female com
